batskeets | I have 0WNZ3D J00! :O

I just had like, the best day EVER. Well, except for the fact that I only slept for 3 hours, but I'm not that tired right now anyway, so even that's okay.

So, I hauled ass over to Millrace and got there about 10 minutes late. (when it's between sustenance and punctuality, the food always wins) I went in with a really fatalistic attitude about my project... I didn't have any dialogue for my soundtrack, the sound effects didn't go as planned, and I *still* couldn't get those accursed pan shots to work, so I kind of resigned myself to getting a sucky reaction to it.

But, lo and behold, I showed it to the class, and it WORKED. People actually seemed to like it! The only complaint people seemed to have was that the subtitles went by too quickly for them to read, but I guess that's my fault since I'm kind of a fast reader. And Todd seemed hella impressed, too, so I think I'm going to get high marks. WOO! I'm *so* glad I got the extra couple of days.

And now I even feel like going back and fixing up all the broken stuff, even though I don't have to. I won't be doing it *this* week, mind you, but it's something I wouldn't mind doing over break. So much for throwing myself off the Autzen footbridge. ^_-

I also KICKED ASS on my Japanese oral. I was worried about it because I didn't really get much time to study, but I guess I didn't need it, because I 0wnzed the oral exam. :D The only part I kind of goofed on was my answer to "where do you live?" because there are multiple ways to ask about hometown, home country, and current residence, and I tend to get them all mixed up. But still, I think I did *way* better than last time. I wasn't as nervous about it either... maybe I'm just too tired to be nervous. ^_-

I also ran into Bonz0r (ha! Bonnie is now 1337-ified) briefly, before the oral exam, and that was a nice surprise. I never see the hometown kids enough anymore! ;_; I should try to get to that Civil War party for a bit on Saturday, even though I lack tickets to the actual game. (I can't even remember how I got tickets for it last time, and I certainly don't remember standing in line...)

I think I got mildly hit on at one point today, although I'm stupid and I can never tell... I never seem to notice when I'm actually being hit on, and in the few instances when I think I *am* being hit on, I'm usually wrong. ::rotfl:: He was cute, though. It's always kind of nice to be hit on, whether you're on the market or not. Even if you're already spoken for, just knowing that some member of the general populous thinks you're hot kind of gives you a little extra bit of ego gratification. ^_-

Mrrf. So yeah, tonight I get to work on my Digital Imaging final, which I've decided is going to be a series called "Rants," which is going to be photographic representations of different things that my friends and I have ranted about. This might actually be a fun project... we'll see how it goes. And then, I will SLEEP LIKE THE DEAD!

So basically: expected a horrible, gut-wrencing, suicide-inducing day, and it turned out awesome. Who says a negative attitude never gets you anywhere? ^_-
